Guy was trained by the legendary Ken Fox’s Hell Riders – the UK’s No. 1 Wall of Death troupe. The Fox family has been touring and entertaining since the 1920's and Ken Fox is recognised as one of the world's leading Wall of Death riders.

Guy will then graduate to riding the largest ever Wall of Death. It will span a massive 40 metres in diameter – over four times larger than a traditional fairground wall.

To allow Guy to train day and night, rain or shine, in the run up to his record attempt, this huge structure has been built in an aircraft hangar close to Guy’s Lincolnshire home.

Martin was very keen on the live show and the record attempt from the start.

"I'm the luckiest man alive," beamed Martin, in the trailer for the live event. "It's alright watching [the wall] on the telly, when you see it with your own eye..."

Speaking about who will be there should things go wrong, Martin said: "My mum and dad are coming, sister's coming, my mates from racing are coming, boss, boss's missus... it's going to be a right night."

The hit series Speed with Guy Martin returns later in 2016 where Guy will attempt to claim a number of world records including breaking the 200mph barrier in a souped-up Transit van.
